Phase I Operational with Plans for Expansion

Trinity Gas Storage, LLC has successfully commenced operations at Phase I of its 24 Bcf gas storage facility in East Texas. Located strategically in Anderson County, the facility marks the first greenfield gas storage project to become operational in Texas in over a decade. It was completed in just 16 months after the final investment decision, showcasing the company’s efficient development and construction capabilities.

This facility is a critical addition to the Texas energy grid (ERCOT), addressing the supply and reliability challenges that emerged during Winter Storm Uri. The facility is designed to provide much-needed flexibility, particularly in response to the growing energy demands from AI and data center growth. It will help balance the supply and demand of natural gas, ensuring reliability during periods of peak electricity usage.

Support for Texas’ Growing Energy Needs

Trinity Gas Storage has secured contracts with various customers, including power generators, utilities, and companies with LNG exposure. The demand for gas storage services is rising, prompting the company to plan for expansion. Phase II of the project is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026, further enhancing the facility’s capacity and deliverability.

Trinity CEO Jim Goetz highlighted the importance of the facility for Texas’ energy security, noting that it plays a key role in providing reliable services to the gas market. The project was supported by a group of skilled energy industry partners, including Transition Equity Partners, Pan Capital Management LP, and other investors, emphasizing the value of flexible and reliable gas storage in today’s evolving energy landscape.
